On behalf of everyone here I would like to congratulate David on being chosen as "Sailor of the Week"! I would like to sincerely congratulate you David and your family! I must say I am not surprised to hear of all your success over there in Japan! Your father, Mark speaks highly and brags about you all the time in the Japan group that he himself started for us on Navydads! It has become my favorite group!! I can tell how bright you are and you have a quick mind for success! Combine those attributes with your relentless work ethic and committment to quality patient care , and it is obvious you have a wide-open future ahead of you! I know that your experience with working in the navy has contributed in some small way to your success. On behalf of Navydads I wish you all the best in your future and life endeavors, whatever they may be.
